>From a favorable comment I made to an article in a Bombay newspaper, there
were the following two prompt replies.
I am forwarding them in toto with the hope that some local resident may pick
up the gauntlet for Goa and form an alliance with the Bombay group. Who
knows if it can help to save some precious lives.
Any suggestions on how we Diaspora Goans can pitch in? Let's take up at this
cause.

Dear Road Users,
I hereby take this opportunity to thank each of you individual who has
bothered to read the "Responsible Road Users Club" article dated 27th Dec
Mumbai Mirror and spent some time to ponder and comment on it. This concern
itself is evident of how much are we in need of some degree of discipline on
our roads where we spend time everyday, in whatever form, be it on foot,
cycle, motor bike or car. It's time we hold ourselves responsible as much as
we try to blame the authorities for the chaos that we face every single day
on our roads.
At this point of time, we are focused towards the launch of this movement.
We also meet from time to time from our busy schedules to discuss our future
course of actions/plans. We would be doing this event in the coming days and
would want you to keep a tab on the face-book wall for more details. We
intend to move ahead with the commitments stated on our website and more
Road Safety Programmes creating higher degree of awareness in our minds
regarding driving habits and it's impact on Road Safety (where we have the
worst records as per WHO reports). Once again a sincere thanks on behalf of
all members at RRUC.
With Regards

Dear sir,
Excellent. I appreciate the determination of all the members to go ahead and
forge a Road Users Club which could eventually emulate the discipline of
Road Safety in general and inculcate the meaning of common transport among
all concerned.
Of course, if everyone can understand the true meaning and follow the
underlined principles it would create a big impact among the common man.
Apart from promulgating an agenda of awareness among road users, an equally
crucial factor is of starting to educate and convince the hard core and
stubborn Road Transporters and Police Authorities who care less for the
human value.
Any way let us hope for the best and do whatever we can do..
Best rgds
